London, Surrey, UK The incidence of excessive alcohol consumption is exceptionally high among university students. The study focuses on the potential of alcohol interventions to improve knowledge about Cabozantinib mw sensible drinking. The comparison study found a significant difference of 5.31 between average MCQ results. The United Kingdom was found to consume alcohol excessively compared to its European counterparts. Much of this is contributed by the university student culture where students are known to consume heavily. Recently a new culture of ‘neknomination’ has become popular amongst university students contributing to four deaths. Furthermore previous studies conducted within various UK universities found that the majority of students tested positive for AUDIT-C indicating excessive consumption. Moreover studies have initiated that as little as 5% of students were able to recall the daily
alcohol guidelines.1 Research has indicated that interventions should be initiated, as there have not been many alcohol interventions implemented. The aim of this study was to determine whether a health promotion intervention delivered to university students was effective in improving knowledge about sensible drinking. A comparison study was conducted Stem Cells inhibitor with 100 university students to improve the diversity and precision of results at one university and across two campuses. The students were randomly approached at the reception of both campuses whereby they were screened using an AUDIT-C questionnaire. The final sample consisted of 50 participants from each campus. Then using control conditions, students within the control group were not offered the video based intervention whereas the treatment
arm was. The video was delivered to students via an iPAD, which detailed some facts including the government recommended alcohol guidelines, side effects and the number units in certain alcoholic drinks. In effect an MCQ test consisting of 10 questions that was developed using CPPE packages and piloted with 5 students was given straight after the intervention in the treatment group and as soon as the AUDIT-C questionnaire was completed in the control group Adenosine triphosphate under untimed conditions. Then 5 students in the treatment group took part in the semi-structured interview due to the limited time availability and student cohort. Those students who agreed to take part were selected randomly via Excel’s random number generator where 5 students were emailed about the interview time and location. Then during the interview 5 open questions were asked where their views and perceptions were recorded about alcohol consumption within students, as well as the effectiveness of the intervention. The faculty’s ethics committee granted ethical approval for this study.
